    Weight watchers (the app) worked wonders for me! Way better than a fad diet, although it does take longer, but it also teaches you healthy eating habits. Even after I've cancelled the programme, I have kept them and I haven't gained that weight back (which happened almost immediately after I've tried keto or other diets). The point system is so simple, in that all the calories and makros are already weighted in and you don't have to sit there calculating proteins and carbohydrates... So yeah, it may take longer depending on how quickly you adapt, but it lasts and I can definitely say that I've never gone hungry.
    I also started moving more after losing all that weight, first at the gym, but then they got closed because of COVID and I've discovered popsugar fitness on YouTube, the videos are fun and there's a huge variety. My favourite trainer is probably Jake Dupree.

    It depends on how quickly you need to lose your weight. If it's a "my wedding is in a month and my dress barely zips" situation, you'll want to drop as much water weight as possible. Drink a lot of water, watch your salt intake, focus on veggies and protein. But if it's "my wedding is in a year and I want to feel more confident and be healthier" then definitely take a look at Weight Watchers or Noom or something else focused on building those habits in a safe and lasting way! (though, honestly, these are great resources all the time and I recommend looking into them anyway!) I've been doing a lot of research around intuitive eating and calorie deficits and have been tracking calories with My Fitness Pal!

    Food takes on a big role for losing weight. While I didn't get to workout to look as toned as I wanted to before my wedding, I at least made sure to eat right. No junk food especially (chips, cookies, ice cream, fast food, etc). I definitely watched my salt and sugar intake as well. I made sure to eat as many home made meals as I could since I was able to moderate what goes into it.
    If you can meal prep for the week that would help sooo much! It definitely helped me and my husband.
    As for working out it depends on how much you are trying to lose and what areas you want to work on especially. So, give yourself a schedule and a timeline and set some goals so you know what you need to do weekly. There are a lot of at home workouts you can do if you look on youtube or even pinterest Smiley smile

    Thanks! It's hard to eat healthy sometimes. I get so tempted, but I'm definitely going to try to eat right.

    You're welcome! And food is definitely hard to resist when it's sooo good! It took me a few months for my body to adjust because it kept wanting and craving what I used to eat. But now I very rarely will eat like a bag of chips, but it's a must when I'm eating a sandwich lol. You got this!

    Lol. I barely crave snacks or food because my mom was so strict when I was younger. I crave things like lobster, shrimp, and steak.

    Thanks!! 😊 I don’t count the mileage but I made sure I walk a minimum of 60 mins! It’s usually 60-90 min walks at a park

    Do not impose strict restrictions right away. Try to gradually acquire healthy habits. This also applies to nutrition and training. The body will not be better off from excessive stress.
